Your symptoms are typical of a common cold or viral throat infection, which usually resolves on its own. For relief, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage throat pain and body aches. If you have a runny or stuffy nose, an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine can help. Warm salt-water gargles, honey, and staying well-hydrated are also highly effective natural remedies. Rest as much as possible. Please avoid taking antibiotics, as they do not cure viral infections. If you experience difficulty breathing, a persistent high fever, or if symptoms last more than 10 days, please consult a doctor for a physical examination. Take care!
